When Ferrari first unveiled the Ferrari Purosangue, it redefined what a performance-focused luxury vehicle could be. Now, the Italian marque takes things a step further. Enter the Handling Speciale configuration, an optional package designed to intensify the Purosangue’s sporting character while preserving its grand touring versatility.

A More Focused Driving Experience

At the heart of the Handling Speciale lies a recalibrated active suspension system, engineered to reduce body roll by 10 percent. The result is a noticeably tighter, more controlled feel through corners and during rapid directional changes. The car responds more immediately to driver inputs, delivering a sharper and more engaging driving experience without sacrificing comfort.

Ferrari has also refined the gearbox strategy, especially in the more aggressive driving modes. Gear shifts are quicker and more decisive, particularly in Race and ESC-Off settings. In manual mode, the experience becomes even more immersive, with more dynamic shifts at higher revs, emphasizing the connection between driver and machine. 

The Sound of a Naturally Aspirated V12

One of the defining features remains the naturally aspirated V12 engine, producing 725 horsepower and revving up to 8,250 rpm. In the Handling Speciale configuration, Ferrari enhances the in-cabin sound experience, making start-up and acceleration even more visceral. It is a reminder that this is not just a performance SUV, but a true Ferrari at its core.

Subtle Yet Distinctive Design Touches

Visually, the Handling Speciale configuration introduces a series of exclusive details. New diamond-cut wheels, carbon-fiber side shields, matte black exhaust tips, and a black rear Prancing Horse emblem all contribute to a more assertive presence. Inside, a dedicated plaque signifies the car’s unique configuration, reinforcing its exclusivity.

These updates do not alter the Purosangue’s proportions or practicality. It remains a true four-seater with a comfortable, elevated driving position and everyday usability, qualities that have been central to its appeal since launch.

Performance Meets Practicality

Despite its sharper dynamics, the Purosangue Handling Speciale retains its dual personality. It is as capable of spirited driving on winding roads as it is of handling daily commutes or long-distance journeys. Ferrari’s seven-year Genuine Maintenance program further underlines the brand’s commitment to long-term performance and reliability, offering peace of mind to owners worldwide.
